Snorkel the Reefs — Our beach neighborhoods recently welcomed more than 50 artificial reef
structures that are perfect for snorkeling in the Gulf. Dive in and see what marine life you spot in these
beautiful new habitats shaped like turtles and other sea life!
SUP — South Walton was one of the first U.S. communities to embrace the art and sport of stand-
up paddleboarding. A perfect balance of fitness, nature and community, this activity is a perfect
fit for South Walton.
Fish from Gulf to Bay — From surf to bay fishing, South Walton is a dream for the laid-back
fisherman looking to share a perfect family memory or reel in a big one for dinner. Everything from
charters departing Sandestin Marina or directly from the sand in Grayton Beach to quiet guided
paddle fishing tours of the back bay tributaries is readily available!
Take a Hike — Hikers of all ages and ability levels enjoy exploring South Walton’s expansive trail
system which includes easy, moderate and difficult routes. Whether it be a quick walk through
the nature path in Grayton Beach State Park or a miles-long adventure in Point Washington State
Forest, a journey through our beach neighborhoods’ wooded areas will reveal a new, untouched
side of South Walton.
Back in the Saddle — Trot along through scenic South Walton by horseback on a guided tour.
A leisurely horseback ride through Point Washington State Forest offers a higher vantage point for
taking in wildlife among the longleaf pines and scrub palmettos.
Pedal Power — Any South Walton visitor will tell you that biking is one of the best modes
of vacation transportation along our beach neighborhood streets. Bring your own bike or rent a
cruiser to explore more than 200 miles of bike trails and paths. South Walton bike rental shops
have everything from tyke bikes to road racers.
Mix it Up — At The Boathouse Paddle Club in Watercolor, you’ll find fitness classes that mix
multiple outdoor adventures into a single workout. Try the popular RUN/SUP class to get your
heart rate up between paddleboard sessions on a tranquil dune lake. Or stop in for a TRX session
before grabbing a bike and hitting the trails with a group.
